Not sure why we are comparing hardware with software here. Your motherboard can run IPv6 just fine :) You probably bought a server motherboard, so the ports are there for old KVM-type devices. Good luck buying a consumer motherboard with VGA and PS/2 ports.

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450-A-PRO-MAX https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450-A-PRO-MAX Here you go. It's a little older, but AM4 is still competitive, especially if you're using video from the CPU. In which case, the lack of a 500 series chipset isn't a big limitation.

    Passive adapters from DisplayPort to VGA sounds unlikely? Port powered adapter, sure, but unless they're doing something really weird, you need at least some DACs and maybe something to translate sync? That's unlike single channel dvi-d <-> hdmi conversion which is just a matter of connecting pins; IIUC, you can passively convert from display port to single channel dvi-d (and therefore hdmi), but dual-channel dvi-d needs active conversion too. If it were passive, I'd say it counts (maybe some board connected vga to the dvi-a pins?), but I not the OP.

      It’s very likely I’m just assigning too much functionality to DP++ in my memories :).

Nobody was comparing hardware with software. The point was that things tend to stick around way beyond when their "replacement" rolls out.
